Daniel Radcliffe Almost Finish the Harry Potter series

Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he almost quit the Harry Potter series. The actor admits that he was thinking about leaving the franchise after The Prisoner of Azkaban before having a change of heart.

Speaking to Shortlist the actor said: "There was a time after the third film when I thought about quitting.

"It was only for a second, but I thought, 'If I do the fourth, I'll have to do them all', and that seemed quite daunting.

"If I was going to leave, that would have been the perfect time because it would have given whoever came in to play Harry enough films to establish himself properly.

"It wouldn't have totally dumped him in the s**t. But then I started thinking, 'What other good parts are there for 15-year-olds? None'."

The final instalment Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 became the biggest grossing movie in the franchise as it took over $1 billion at the global box office.

And this week sees him leave Potter behind as he leads the cast in The Woman In Black, and adaptation of the Susan Hill novel.

The movie sees him tackle a role that is completely different in his first post Potter part.
